On 12 May 2026, an eye donation awareness session was successfully conducted at Dr. M. L. Dhawale Memorial Trust Hospital, Palghar. The session was attended by approximately 35 participants, including hospital visitors, patients, caregivers, and members of the local community.

The session was conducted by Mr. Ravi Pawar from MOHAN Foundation with the objective of creating awareness about the importance of eye donation and its significant role in restoring vision for individuals suffering from corneal blindness. Participants were provided with detailed information regarding the eye donation process, eligibility criteria, and the importance of donating eyes within the critical time frame after death.

During the session, various aspects of eye donation were discussed, including the benefits of eye donation, common myths and misconceptions, and the procedure of corneal retrieval and transplantation. Participants were informed that eye donation is a noble act that can help provide the gift of sight to visually impaired individuals and improve their quality of life.

The attendees actively participated in the discussion, raised queries related to eye donation, and showed interest in understanding how one donor can help transform the lives of people affected by corneal blindness. Awareness was also created about the importance of discussing eye donation decisions with family members to encourage timely consent.
